LXX2012(i)
1 And the child Samuel ministered to the Lord before Heli the priest: and the word of the Lord was precious in those days, there was no distinct vision.
2 And it came to pass at that time that Heli was sleeping in his place; and his eyes began to fail, and could not see.
3 And the lamp of God [was burning] before it was trimmed, and Samuel slept in the temple, where [was] the ark of God.
4 And the Lord called, Samuel, Samuel; and he said, Behold, [here am] I.
5 And he ran to Heli, and said, [Here am] I, for you did call me: and he said, I did not call you; return, go to sleep; and he returned and went to sleep.
6 And the Lord called again, Samuel, Samuel: and he went to Heli the second time, and said, Behold [here am] I, for you did call me: and he said, I called you not; return, go to sleep.
7 And [it was] before Samuel knew the Lord, and [before] the word of the Lord was revealed to him.
8 And the Lord called Samuel again for the third time: and he arose and went to Heli, and said, Behold, I [am here], for you did call me: and Heli perceived that the Lord [had] called the child.
9 And he said, Return, child, go to sleep; and it shall come to pass if he shall call you, that you shall say, Speak for your servant hears: and Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10 And the Lord came, and stood, and called him as before: and Samuel said, Speak, for your servant hears.
11 And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, I execute my words in Israel; whoever hears them, both his ears shall tingle.
12 In that day I will raise up against Heli all things that I have said against his house; I will begin, and I will make an end.
